uwosh.pfg.d2c 0.7

A PloneFormGen adapter that will save the data from a form to an actual content type. This way you can still use permissions, workflows, etc on the form data.

Introduction

uwosh.pfg.(d)ata(2)(c)ontent

This product provides a dynamic content type to store PloneFormGen form data into. It leverages schemaextenders ability to dynamically add extra fields on a content type so that you essentially get a persistent copy of your form.

The product adds a “Save Data to Content Adapter” item to the “Add new..” drop down for the PloneFormGen Form. Once enabled, when a user submits a form, a new content item is created with that data and located in the adapter.

Compatible with versions of PloneFormGen >= 1.2.2 and Plone 3.x -> 4.0.
